Finding Winnie

In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian bound for World War I, rescued a baby bear he named Winnie. Their journey from Canada to England brought them to the heart of a touching friendship with a boy named Christopher Robin. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was Winnie the bear—a real-life inspiration whose legacy endures at the London Zoo.
